The implied meaning of a word
Denotation is the definition of a word. The denotation of a word is exactly what the definition is, in the literal sense. The reason this word is used instead of 'definition', is because of the existence of "connotation", which is the emotion surrounding the word and what the average person would take it to mean. For example, the word "argumentative" literally means 'having a tendency to argue', but when a person is called "argumentative" it is seen as an insult and puts them in a negative light. Denotation does not have any emotion in it, good or bad. Therefore, denotation is the strict definition, and connotation is the definition based on how a person would take the word in question to mean.
It has a formal connotation.
The definition of connotations is that which is implied by a word in addition to its literal or primary meaning. Connotation is the feeling a certain word or phrase makes us feel suddenly. It can also mean the negative or positive feeling society places on some words especially slang.
That would be to 'dine'

Sometimes we are not entirely sure how to define something but we need a tentative definition that we can use until we know more about whatever it is that we are trying to define; that would be called a working definition.
Denotation is the definition of a word according to a dictionary. Connotation is the definition of a word depending on the context in which it is being used. Such as, the word "cool". Cool means something that is somewhere between hot and cold. But in the sentence' "Man that is cool!", it means that something is nice or advantageous. This would be the connotative meaning.

"Dream" generally has a positive connotation. The negative form would be "nightmare."
"Ask" itself does not inherently carry a positive or negative connotation, as it simply means to inquire or request information. Its connotation would depend on the context in which it is used.

If you are actively working on the report right now, "Estoy trabajando en un informe". This is literally "I am working on a report", but is used only for current action. In more general terms, you could say "Trabajo en un informe". This is literally "I work on a report", but would normally be translated as "I am working on a report".
